Chicken #6: The Naked Neck

Also known as the Turken, which makes it an acceptable substitute in turducken for two when you don't feel like shelling out for the whole turkey.

Naked Necks originated in Hungary and were purportedly developed to be easier to pluck. I'm not sure why, if you were going to make an easier to pluck chicken, you would just stop at the neck, but I'm not a Hungarian chicken farmer. (Only half Hungarian.)

Possible alternate theory: Naked necks were developed by vampires who were tired of getting a mouthful of feathers every time they wanted a snack.
